I dated a girl years ago who lived a couple miles south of Maplesville. Her Diddy was a constable and volunteer firefighter and Paramedic in Birmingham and in the Alabama ANG. Her uncle was a constable for the other part of the county. Good people in that area, and good peaches too.

I have a huge issue with a police officer thinking he's on a battlefield.  This is the mentality that rolls swat teams with MRAPs for a truancy violation or some shit.

Let's picture this:

Oh my God, Isis came to Jerkwood and took a bunch of kids hostage.  Should we wait for professionals?  Naw, fire up the MRAP and load the 249!  Remember!  Don't shoot the little children!  Yeeeehaw!

Wearing on shift is one thing. Those polyester uniforms aren't cheap.

Wearing cheap shit for training is another.

Day-to-day, I agree 100%. The difference is that basic fire and maneuver/active shooter tactics can be taught, to a basic level, in a few days. Physical fitness takes a lifetime of dedication.

With that population cops can play soldier, doctor, fireman, astronaut, and any other job their hearts desire.

http://d2dvqog93jjnqt.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Training.jpg

The Maplesville Police Department performed a live-fire training exercise on Friday. It was designed to prepare officers for the circumstances that would surround an attempted terrorist attack.

“It doesn’t get any better than live-fire training,” Maplesville police officer Josh Hammond said. “When you’re taking and returning fire, the battlefield can become very confusing. The more we expose ourselves to this training, the better [officers] will be if an actual situation comes up.”

The drill began at Maplesville High School under the premise that terrorists were targeting the school. The objective led the assault team comprised of four officers to the property of Police Chief Todd Ingram, where the final phase of the initiative was completed.


“We trained them back at the school and went over the mission repetitively with some rehearsals,” Ingram said. “Once we kicked off the operation, everything went pretty smooth. When it comes to the mindset, you’ve got to switch from police to infantry because you can’t approach it the same way.”

Ingram, Casey and Hammond are all military veterans and have spent time in the Middle East. Their background has spurred such exercises in the past and will continue moving forward.

Recent events throughout the nation and the world have heightened the sense of awareness throughout various communities. If anything, the town of Maplesville should feel much relief that their police department is taking the process of looking out for the people’s well being.

“Who knows if it’s going to happen in Chilton County, but it is better to go ahead and start getting a team working together,” Ingram said. “If something was to happen, we would have to take charge.”

According to Hammond, the need for this kind of training is becoming more and more important due to the increased challenges that face law enforcement today. The live fire presents a more accelerated form of training designed to mimic the psychological and physiological stresses.

You need to move past the verbiage being used and focus more on the reason why the training is necessary.
If you had kids in a school being attacked by terrorists would you want the local LE to wait for "the professionals"?
If so thats a piss poor plan.
Read about the theater in Paris. The people inside were texting and tweeting, begging the cops to storm the place.

Quoted:

“It doesn’t get any better than live-fire training,” Maplesville police officer Josh Hammond said. “When you’re taking and returning fire, the battlefield can become very confusing.


I have a huge issue with a police officer thinking he's on a battlefield.  This is the mentality that rolls swat teams with MRAPs for a truancy violation or some shit.

Let's picture this:

Oh my God, Isis came to Jerkwood and took a bunch of kids hostage.  Should we wait for professionals?  Naw, fire up the MRAP and load the 249!  Remember!  Don't shoot the little children!  Yeeeehaw!


Terrorists conducting a mass shooting make it a battlefield.
You need to move past the verbiage being used and focus more on the reason why the training is necessary.
If you had kids in a school being attacked by terrorists would you want the local LE to wait for "the professionals"?
If so thats a piss poor plan.
Read about the theater in Paris. The people inside were texting and tweeting, begging the cops to storm the place.



Let me see if I've got the jest of what most here are proposing? "Let's wait for some jerkwater cops to get kitted up and come to the rescue cause they're the only ones "professional" enough to mount a counter attack against a evil, dedicated group of people who went to some considerable trouble to plan and execute a mass murder and don't give any fucks about dying for their cause and taking as many innocent people as they can with them before they go."  

If this is what yall are thinking we're so screwed it's not funny anymore and we will get what we deserve.

How bout.....1.  We kick these sons of bitches out of our country----Yesterday.  Round the motherfuckers up and deport them. Period. They and their "religion"  are not compatible with our way of life.
2. If and when some RIPers shows up in county it is made absolutely clear that they are not welcomed----this is the least hospitable place on the planet. You want fear.  Here it is.  All your stuff....it belongs to us. Here are your choices.  A rope or a leaky boat and two oars.  GTFO.
3.  No one from any of the countries that sponsor, promotes, or tolerates any form of this bullshit comes into our country for any reason what so fucking ever.
4. In the mean time.....Billy Bob and the boys (lots and lots of local folk) start taking  care of business before it comes knocking.  *****

Everybody wants to be Infantry until it's time to do a 20 mile forced march,movement to contact, in the mountains with a 100 lb ruck...and chow didn't show up before time to move out...in the rain.  Then we're just stupid fucking grunts with low GT scores. LOL

Maybe the range needs a porta-shitter and enough sharpies for the whole class.
